Cherry Vanilla Protein Shake #SmoothieMonday

Happy Smoothie Monday! I have to tell you I am on a serious cherry kick! I can’t get enough of that fiberlishous little fruit! They are so plump, sweet and juicy! Since it is cherry season after all, I couldn’t go without creating a cherry smoothie! So as you can guess, today’s smoothie is made with cherries! Let me introduce to you my newest creation, Cherry Vanilla Protein Shake.
This shake tastes like a dessert! It’s sweet, thick, creamy, has the most delicious, fresh cherry flavor with just a hint of vanilla. I think I am in love! The smoothie is so simple too! It only contains 3 ingredients, cherries, coconut milk and vanilla protein powder.
This smoothie is so healthy for you too! I used fresh cherries that I pitted myself and froze them. This time of year I always buy a ton of cherries and pit them and freeze them. It saves me money, but the best part is I can savor the fresh cherry flavor all year. If you don’t have fresh cherries, I do know that Target carries frozen cherries that taste wonderful and are around $3.00 a bag. It’s there Market Pantry brand. For pitting the cherries I used OXO Cherry Pitter. I bought mine at Cost Plus World Market, but I believe Target carries it too. I have been using the pitter a lot lately. You’ll see in the coming weeks.

This looks great. I can’t wait to try it. Also, thank you for the tip on pitting and freezing fresh cherries. I don’t know why, but I would have never thought of doing that, but as you pointed out, it is very cost effective. Thank you!
